SPU Code: SPU-WM-048Project-Specified Perforated Panels
Architectural Perforated Metal Panels for Facades & Sunshades
Architectural Perforated Metal is a project-specified punched-sheet panel for facades and sunshades. Select aluminum or stainless steel, then confirm the hole pattern, open area, sheet thickness, finished panel dimensions, coated or bare finish, and installation details before quotation.
Specifications are confirmed for each architectural projectWhere Is Architectural Perforated Metal Used?
Architectural Perforated Metal is specified as a punched-sheet panel for facades and sunshades where the project needs a controlled hole pattern, defined visual openness, and panel dimensions coordinated with the building design. Confirm the final panel layout and installation route before order release.

Material Choice: Aluminum or Stainless Steel
Material Grade Must Be Confirmed
This SPU identifies the material family as aluminum or stainless steel; it does not define an alloy or stainless steel grade. State the required material designation and project environment in the RFQ, drawing, or approved sample before order release.
Material Grade Must Be Confirmed
No alloy composition is recorded for this SPU. Confirm the exact material designation before order release.
Project Selection Inputs
- Environment：Describe the installation location and exposure conditions so the project team can define the required material designation and finish.
- Panel design：Confirm the hole pattern, open area, sheet thickness, panel dimensions, margins, and folded-edge details together rather than treating any one value as a standalone specification.
- Finish：This SPU records coated or bare finish options. State the required appearance, color reference where applicable, and acceptance method in the project documents.
